Road MBA › Audio MBA
An audio MBA is a way to learn the core ideas of business by listening, in time you already spend driving, riding or walking. It teaches the ideas and does not come with a degree.
The phrase covers audio programs that teach the subjects an MBA touches: negotiation, leadership, strategy, habits, money and persuasion. Some are long courses with modules and assignments. Others, like Road MBA, take the classic business books managers keep meaning to read and turn each one into a short episode.

The same ideas, three ways to get them.
Tuition for the first year alone at Stanford GSB.1
Thirty separate purchases, then the hours to read each one before you use a single idea.
The big idea of all 30 books, one 8 to 12 minute episode a day, each with a printable toolkit. Nothing recurring.
An MBA also gives you a degree, a network and a classroom, and Road MBA does not. What it gives you is the reading list, made to fit your commute.
